I can confirm the behaviour with ps, pdf obtained through ps2pdf and direct compilation with pdflatex. dvipdfm simply does not include figures (I guess it's a known bug, from the messages in the calling shell I see it looks for .eps.Z extensions for the files). In addition, the tex2pdf compilation gets a correct result (I mean, similar to the dvi layout). Here are the amendments I can suggest: * the ps2pdf path is simply corrected by adding the -dAutoRotatePages=/None modifier to the ps2pdf converter (ps2pdf13 here); * the trouble with the direct pdf path comes from the fact that lyx uses ps2pdf13 to convert eps files which are condidered as PS (instead of EPS) because of the first line which is incomplete (see bug 2612). ->head -1 *.eps ==> test1-big.eps <== %!PS-Adobe-3.0 ==> test1-bighor.eps <== %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 ==> test1-small.eps <== %!PS-Adobe-3.0 so that the conversions read: ->lyx -dbg files -e pdf2 weirdRotations.lyx Setting debug level to files [...] Converting from ps to pdf Calling ps2pdf13 '0_tmp_weirdRotations_test1-small.eps' [...] Converting from ps to pdf Calling ps2pdf13 '1_tmp_weirdRotations_test1-big.eps' Converting from eps to pdf Calling /usr/local/TeX/bin/sparc-solaris/epstopdf --outfile='2_tmp_weirdRotations_test1-bighor.pdf' '2_tmp_weirdRotations_test1-bighor.eps' Converting from latex to pdf2 So the pdf produced for the first two images has been autorotated. I guess the PDF Mediabox is incorrect as well. As eps2pdf includes the -dAutoRotatePages=/None modifier, the best way seems to use Rolans Bless' ps2eps filter to normalize your epses. You might use alse tex2pdf, which uses epstopdf to create the pdf files (add a converter to pdf in the preferences). May be bug 2612 could be reopened to force use of epstopdf if the extension is eps, regardless of the first line of the file (od testing existence od a BB). HTH -- Jean-Pierre
